“We have a permit for the other car, but we don’t feel the need to pay for a second permit because we have off-street parking.

“On this occasion I couldn’t park it off the street.

“I took photos of the vehicle that was causing the obstruction and I got a reply saying they are upholding the parking ticket, because you are supposed to have a permit.”

He added: “We are angry, it’s the fact that they didn’t take anything into consideration. Someone was blocking my access.”

Portfolio holder for City Services, Coun Michael Mordey, said: “Every motorist who does not agree with an appeal decision against a penalty charge notice, is automatically invited to take the appeal process to the next stage to have it re-considered if they so wish.
